I think Herb is sitting back having a few wild turkey's pondering this one. In reality I don't think this is going to hurt SWA they will somehow take a twist with this one and probably find some marketing genius side to it...stranger things have happened.

Boeing press release:

Southwest Airlines contacted Boeing for verification of their technical opinion that the continued operation of their Classic 737s, for up to ten days until the airplanes could be reinspected, did not pose a safety of flight issue. Based on a thorough review of many factors, including fleet history and test data, as well as other inspections and maintenance previously incorporated, Boeing concluded the 10-day compliance plan was technically valid. In Boeing's opinion, the safety of the Southwest fleet was not compromised.
Doesn't matter - the FAA still has to approve the extension. If my airline wants to extend something as simple as a DMI (deferred mx item) they need approval from their FAA Prinicpal Mx Inspector, even if Boeing says it's fine.

Just making a point that those who don't know their butt from third base shouldn't post on any airline thread.

Every CA I fly with leaves the choice up to me, when there is a choice involved.

The "soon" thing will not be applicable here in another month.

Can anybody actually, seriously wish ill-will on WN?? I know that happens in the Regionals all the time, but ya'll grow up when you move on, right??

Count I: At the Regionals, the 59,791 cycles (even self-disclosed) may have resulted in $10K per.

Count II: The 1451 additional cycles would probably have been levied at the maximum $25K per (willful intent).

$ 626 million ($ 590M + $36M) makes jo's Hawaiian headache look like chump change.

This makes the WN CFO's decision very easy to write the 10M check.
